So how will you feel when your buddy calls you and tells you how good they did ?
On the other hand, Cod jerking is work, if it's good you can't uncurl your fingers for a day or two.
I can tell you this if he has a 50 foot lobster boat and commercially fishes I can guarentee he has survival suits and e-pirb and boattracks or skymate... the government and theifs woops I mean NMFS has every commercial boat LO-Jacked on gps they kno wwere we are at all times... And if its a a good lobster boat its prob a novi style hull but either way itll have a wide beam so its stable in the rougher stuff.. If its that bad the Captain will know and not go... NOAA does the weather daily lol.. I can only say this if you dont go you will regret it if you do go you could get beat up a lil but you wont think bout it when on theh fish...

Think of it as kismet.
There's nothing I like more than fishing broom stick rods and 24 oz cod jigs in 300+ feet of water in a ripping current and snagging dogfish in 20 degree weather. Fun stuff!
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
